Zhu Houzhao had been hanging out in the courtyard outside the palace for more than three hours. When it was almost dark, she was reluctant to leave her room after Dai Yi urged her. .

Dai Yi couldn't help but look at the gauze tent inside, and suddenly felt that the picture in front of him could not bear to look directly at.

It's so beautiful!

Even a man like Dai Yi who has lost his male function cannot help but his heart beat faster when he saw him. He admired Liu Jin from the bottom of his heart and said:

"Eunuch Liu is really capable. He can arrange this as soon as he returns to the capital. Even I am moved. How can His Majesty resist with great energy?"

Zhu Houzhao complained: "Eunuch Dai, you know how to urge and urge. It is actually okay for me to stay here for the night! Why do you have to go back to the palace?"

Dai Yi explained: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You came out of the palace today to see the release of the results. Tomorrow you will also participate in the ceremonial ceremony in the palace. You cannot spend the night outside the palace tonight..."

Zhu Hou took a look at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was unwilling to be a bad guy at this moment. He arranged a series of good shows, but would not disturb Zhu Houzhao's interest in having fun. Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, then go back to the palace now... Butler Liu, what should I do if the girl inside?"

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, these women are all the courtesans of the Jiaofangsi. It was not impossible to leave your Majesty as a personal favor, but since Your Majesty has been here for them... why not change a new batch of people next time?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "Okay, this is a good idea. Butler Liu is good at doing things. Unlike some people, they are incompetent, they know that they are buzzing in front of this young master, just like a fly!"

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao walked quickly towards the door of the house.

In fact, the naughty child also knew that he had to rush back to the palace at this time, otherwise the gate of the harem would be closed and he could only enter and exit from the Daming Gate. This would be easy for the ministers in the court to know that he had sneaked out of the palace quietly.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to Qianqing Palace, it was completely dark, and Xiao Jing was waiting in Qianqing Palace for a long time. Seeing Zhu Houzhao back, Xiao Jing knew that the little master had left the palace and did not ask where he was going. He went forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are back. The results of this palace examination have been released. The list of 300 Jinshi is here. Please read it yourself!"

In the 18th year of Hongzhi, it can be said that he has a lot of talents. Yuan Dong of the Society Examination was only ranked second in the Palace Examination. Gu Dingchen, who had served as the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace in history, ranked first, and Xie Qian's son Xie Pi was ranked first.

This result is exactly the same as in history.

Zhu Houzhao took the list and looked at it. He didn't know any of the people above. He just read it casually and put it aside, saying, "There is nothing to read. If you win, you won. I can't make any changes... In fact, it should be my business to decide who will win the top scorer. Now, the palace examination reading officer has decided by himself. I am like a puppet, what's the use of speaking?"

Xiao Jing heard the impatientness in Zhu Houzhao's words, but he didn't dare to say anything casually. He had the opportunity to help Zhu Houzhao as he was, but unfortunately he was a timid and good-looking man, so he handed over the power of the Silijian to the cabinet. Zhu Houzhao's patience with Xiao Jing was extremely limited.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Isn't it going tomorrow? I'll just go there. As for other things, don't bother me. I'm a little tired today and want to go to the bedroom to rest. Don't prepare dinner. But it's better to keep some food. Maybe I'll get up in the middle of the night to eat... Oh, it's so sleepy!"

Because he had been ridiculous outside the palace for an afternoon of ridiculousness, Zhu Houzhao felt that his body was weak and he just wanted to lie in bed and have a good sleep. Liu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao into the bedroom and took advantage of Zhu Houzhao's change of clothes and came forward and said:

"Your Majesty, you often go out to play now. If you don't have to supplement your health... I'm afraid you can't stand it. Even if your Majesty is fierce, you should pay attention when it's time to supplement it!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Do I need to take supplements? What are the supplements you mentioned? Pills? Or diets like abalone ginseng wing belly?"

Liu Jin leaned into Zhu Houzhao's ear and said, Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised: "You let me eat those things? No! No! I am now, eating these things is not good... Do you think I don't know? Go back and ask Sima Zhenren, he is very knowledgeable about Taoist health. I will consult him, don't make these bad thoughts!"

Liu Jin originally wanted Zhu Houzhao to take deer antlers, tiger whips and other great tonics. To put it bluntly, it is to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. This is also because he "comprehensively" Zhu Houzhao's "work hard" and wanted the emperor to do whatever he wanted in some aspects.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't take this trick at all. After all, with his age, he was full of energy and even his body was still developing. Even if he felt a little tired afterwards, he would not have much reaction. He was immediately energetic after resting. Zhu Houzhao didn't feel that he needed to use these things to nourish him.

Shortly after Liu Jin returned to the palace, he was not very clear about the power structure in the palace and who was favored by the emperor, and he was still muttering in his heart:

"Where is this Sima Zhenren? I haven't seen it, but His Majesty has mentioned it two or three times. If you have the chance, you must see it carefully. If this person is indeed a capable person, I must get close to you. If this person pretends to be a ghost, then I will stay away from him. Maybe when he will be disgusted by the emperor, implicate others and suffer!"

With this idea, Liu Jin did not dare to mention the issue of giving tonics again.

Zhu Houzhao was about to go to the dragon bed and said thoughtfully: "Everyone said it was tiring to be an emperor. I don't think it would be better if I was as leisurely and comfortable every day as I am now? It's just that the major affairs in the court are always controlled, so I feel uncomfortable..."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional!

Liu Jin kept in mind Zhu Houzhao's resentment and said to himself: "It turns out that Your Majesty is thinking of taking power, so I have to pay attention to it and see how it can help Your Majesty."

"If I can really help Your Majesty take power, then wouldn't I be more than one person? Eunuch Xiao is a cowardly person and his Majesty has a bad attitude towards him. My next step is to strive to enter the Sili Supervisory Office and take Eunuch Xiao to replace him..."

...

...

Liu Jin had just returned to the court and had no power, but with his shrewdness, he had begun to plan how to seize power.

Shen Xi knew very well that Liu Jin was a product of a special era.

Even without Liu Jin, other eunuchs would have emerged and stood up to represent the emperor in suppressing the Chinese civil servant group in the court. The only difference is that these people's experience and abilities may not be as good as Liu Jin, and they cannot fully utilize Zhu Houzhao's trust to help the new emperor complete the great cause of seizing power.

Shen Xi was not sure whether his arrival would affect the general trend of the court and whether Liu Jin would still have the opportunity to take power after experiencing many twists and turns and completely suppress the civil service group.

On April 13, Shen Xi led a large army along the Guilin Prefecture North Road official road, passing through Yongzhou Prefecture, Hengzhou Prefecture, and arrived at Changsha Prefecture City.

After attending the military banquet organized by the local government, Chen Xi returned to the central army tent. He had to check a few pieces of information that day before he could rest.

Yun Liu came in full dress and entered the tent. After entering the big tent, he saluted and said, "Sir, I just got the news that the court has made a conclusion on your case in Nanning Prefecture..."

"The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel jointly issued an announcement announcing that you have not committed any crimes in the local area. It claimed that the Nanning Prefect Gao Ji accepted bribes from local gentry and was suspected of falsely accusing Shangguan. He was taken down by the court and escorted to Beijing for trial. The Gao family has been confiscated... Even Gao Ji's son was arrested and imprisoned in the capital..."

Chen Xi read the official document handed over by Yunliu and sighed softly: "If I had known this, why should I have been there? Gao Ji thought he could use the relationship between the factory guards to help him clear his charges, but he forgot that even if I don't want tolerate many people in the court, I wouldn't dismiss me easily because it was related to the face of the court! Well... Gao Ning committed suicide?"

Yun Liu was also a little confused: "Gao Ning committed suicide before the court decided the case. No one saw the body. The Gao family held a high-profile funeral in Nanning Prefecture. When the Gao family searched the house, they did not see Gao Ning..."

Chen Xi frowned slightly and shook his head and said, "From my understanding of that woman, she will not commit suicide easily before I was guilty... But even if she is alive, it doesn't make much sense. I suspect that Jiang Liwei should have a deal with Gao Ji and intends to send Gao Ning to the capital..."

Yunliu was puzzled: "Sir, why did you send Gao Ning to the capital?"

Chen Xi said coldly: "What do you think Jiang Li is the only one who goes to the south? To avenge Gao Ji? He is to avenge his revenge... In addition, he has another purpose, probably to send Gao Ning to the capital and hand it over to the Marquis of Shouning or Jianchang."

"Now Gao Ji has been punished. The person who can really save him is definitely not a relative of the foreigners. I am afraid that even Jiang Liwei will take the blame on Gao Ji after the imperial court results."

"Jiang Liwei cannot frame me and will definitely find ways to complete the errands entrusted to him by the Zhang brothers, so that Gao Ning will follow him to the capital to please the Zhang brothers... Now it depends on whether this woman will submit!"

Yun Liu looked cold and said, "That woman looks pitiful, but her heart is so cruel. She can do everything she can to frame the adults!"

"The hearts of people in this world are complicated, and it's not surprising that I occasionally encounter a weirdo."

Chen Xi sighed and said, "From my understanding of the two uncles, they will never help Gao Ji. Gao Ji's case... it should be settled here."
